Rob Munro, MD Carr’s Flour Mills said "We wanted to do what we can to help local people during this difficult time.

"Our staff have been milling at a frantic rate supplying customers and keeping the nation fed. The staff at Maldon have been making heroic efforts to get product out."

Magnox, who are responsible for decommissioning Bradwell nuclear power station, have also provided their support to the community response to fund critical work and provisions.

Gwen Parry Jones, Chief Executive, said: "This work is vital and a key part of Magnox’s response to COVID-19 is to help other organisations deal with the pandemic wherever we can.

"In this time of national crisis, Magnox has agreed with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority that we should make available up to £25,000 at each site from the Magnox Socioeconomic Scheme for use by local community groups on COVID-19 related activities.

"Magnox is committed to assisting the communities surrounding our sites, as our communities have supported us for over 50 years, and we hope this funding will go some way to supporting the essential work being delivered."
